Removing and Installing the PCI Adapter Card

•Your appliance comes with a Peripheral Component Interconnect-Extended (PCI-X) riser card and a PCI Express (PCIe) riser card. These slots are located in the appliance with a PCI riser assembly. (See the “Removing the PCI Riser Assembly” section on page 4-14, for instructions on how to remove the PCI riser assembly.)

•Locate the documentation that comes with the PCI adapter card and follow those instructions in addition to the instructions in this section.

•The PCI riser assembly must be removed before you can remove, replace, or install a PCI adapter card in the Cisco ADE 2130 and 2140 Series appliance:

–A PCI-X riser card for full-height, full-length PCI-X adapter cards

–A PCI Express (PCIe) riser card with two slots for low-profile PCIe adapter cards

•Any PCI-X adapter card can be installed in any PCI-X slot. Only the PCIe x4 adapter card can be installed in a PCIe.

•There are no population rules for installing a single low-profile adapter card in the 2U low-profile riser card; a single adapter card can be installed in either PCI Express slot. Each slot supports only an x4 interface. (See Table 4-2and Table 4-3 on page 4-13for full-height and low-profile adapter card configurations, respectively.)

Table 4-2	Full-Height Adapter Card Configurations
Configuration		Bottom Slot	Middle Slot	Top Slot
1 adapter card		PCI-X1	—	—
		—	x4 PCIe	—
		—	—	x4 PCIe
2 adapter cards		PCI-X1	x4 PCIe	—
		PCI-X1	—	x4 PCIe
		—	x4 PCIe	x4 PCIe
3 adapter cards		PCI-X1	x4 PCIe	x4 PCIe

1. Up to 133 MHz bus speed.

2 adapter cards		x4 PCIe	x4 PCIe

To install an adapter card, you first need to remove the top cover, the processor air duct, and the riser card assembly from the appliance and remove the I/O filler panel from the slot where you will be installing the adapter card. Once the PCI-X or PCIe adapter card is attached to the appropriate riser card connector, this assembly is then plugged back into the connectors on the appliance system board.
